Agreed. Klipsch is primarily a mass-consumer brand. They do have some higher end models, but are priced accordingly.

This is true until heard on high end audio equipment. Once speakers get into the top tier, it's hard to find a recording that does not show faults in the recording or format. It's like buying music that sounds good on the stereo instead of buying music that is appealing on its own.
